Day 6

What makes you tick? (pet peeves, annoyances, motivators etc)

Pet peeves:

mistranslations – especially when done by professionals. I’m not talking about students or the occasional mistake everyone makes. What really pisses me off is when someone makes huge mistakes regularly, clearly out of laziness or neglect. And then they’re arrogant about it.

bad spelling, grammar and punctuation – again, these really bother me if they are a result of laziness, carelessness rather than the occasional mistake everyone makes. I don’t like typos either, but I know there’s a point when re-reading something for the 3000th time is just pointless, you will never see them. (That’s when it helps to ask someone to proofread it for you.)

(Maybe it’s laziness about language that annoys me :))

when someone is unfair (No, it is not life that’s unfair. People are.)

rudeness and arrogance: being ignored, especially by people who are supposed to be friends or family. Condescending behaviour is something that infuriates me.

disorder – as in untidy and not organised. Living with two small children and a totally disorganised husband, this is a real challenge.

Motivators:

Mostly, my main motivator is alliteration the expected outcome or the act itself. I’m probably very much self-motivated.

Other people’s enthusiasm and energy, especially if I am able to believe in their dreams, too.

I also like your feedback here and on other platforms that shows me it’s worth writing this blog, because there are people out there who like to read it :)
